- Paul RLondon, UK19 contributionsFantastic Museum dedicated to the Solidarity uprising, located within the old Gdansk shipyard complex. For anyone interested in the history of this event we would massively recommend a weekend in Gdansk to visit this museum. Modern, easy to navigate layout, brilliant Bluetooth audio service in English. We were here for over 3 hours.Written September 1, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- r.parker99South Coast UK103 contributionsI was determined to get the view from the tower, my wife was a little dubious about the climb......turned out it wasn't nearly as demanding a climb as was anticipated.
The old town deserves to be seen from above and gives you a different perspective..ideal for a photographer.Written August 13, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Was very interesting to learn about the formation of amber and what may have lead to the mass production of amber by coniferous trees. There’s also a large display of items made from amber and a shop with a large selection of jewellery for sale.Written April 19, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Olia GKuala Lumpur, Malaysia22 contributionsBesides the fact that we are constantly buying honey and cheese in this market, we can recommend meat products, herbal teas and farm products. But cheese and honey are what you have to try!Written June 4, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- BrakiWorldTravelerBelgrade, Serbia19,409 contributionsThis historic place you cannot miss as it stands in the middle of the main Dluga street, right behind the Neptune fountain.
Entry fee is around 5 Euros, little bit overpriced for what it offers, but still interesting.
The house used to be the meeting place of aristocracy and rich merchants who formed brotherhoods here depending on their origin and business. Each of the brotherhood had its space beneath the Hall arcades, which they decorated with paintings, sculptures and other pieces of art (the tallest 11m ceramic tiles stove being the most interesting one).
Apart from that, it served as a reception hall for celebrations and feasts, as well a courthouse and the seat of Corn Exchange. You need around half an hour to visit.Written April 7, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It’s located inside an old industrial complex with a dozen of bars, dance floors and food trucks. Feels like a festival since there is a variety of music and DJs. You get to meet a lot of locals. Absolutely worth it for groups of friends or party loving couples.Written July 27, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- ElliGdansk, Poland7 contributionsA lovely church in the center of Gdańsk.
Some major artworks can be admired.
However, I find that the church is not well-managed and deserves a renovation. The stucco is damaged to some degree and needs attention.
If you ignore the crumbling stucco you can still marvel at the treasures of the church such as oil paintings, sculptures and the altar pieces.Written July 11, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

As other have mentioned, this is a relatively small collection but the beautiful building alone makes it worth the trip. The museum did a nice job of providing descriptions in English to help get a sense of why some of these pieces are special to Gdansk.
I especially enjoyed the room with ceramics and the room with various medieval alter pieces.
It's a little off the beaten path of the old town, but definitely worth the trip if you're interested in art.Written June 24, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The atmosphere was good and the ultras did their part. I really recommend. Just be aware of long queues outside the stadium, cause the ticket inspection system is quite ineffective.Written July 27, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- rtdoodManchester, UK790 contributionsI wasn't quite sure what to expect from this museum, but I was pleasantly surprised. Built across three floors in converted brick warehouse it does a reasonable job at detailing the development of maritime trade, warfare and history.
The first floor has some lockers and the information desk, together with the first exhibition rooms which were on the subject of early maritime settlements on the Baltic coast, specifically during the Viking ages. This is based from various archaeological finds in the area, such as an old wooden sailing boat together with small items of jewellery. From examining each item it helps give the story and its significance of the settlement. This I found to be quite interesting, as I released there is so much can be told from modern 'forensincs'. Also there was a room about the technological advancements in underwater robotics/exploration from the communist era with actual vehicles developed.
The upper floors explain more about trade during the age of sail before moving through to the technological advancements in shipbuilding, steam turbine development, steel welded ships, 20th century naval warfare and the emergence of the cruise liner in the 20th century. There are plenty of ship models, both wooden and plastic, together with small dioramas and an actual mock up of the interior of a wooden galley which includes an interactive firing cannon simulation. There are also some interactive touch screens, which offer text in English and Polish, although they were few. I had made do with the printed guide on each floor (free to take - and return) which details the object shown in each display case.
I spent just about under 2 hours having a look round. It does soak up some time, but a few more interactives would be more welcome I think for children.Written December 20, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
